THEthe dominance of Toprak Razgatlioglu made boring the first WorldSBK race held today at the Misano World Circuit. The BMW Turk waited four laps before overtaking Remy Gardner, off like a rocket, and take the lead. Once in mind Alanya’s talent was constantly faster of their direct opponents, who were the two Aruba.it Racing Ducati riders Nicolò Bulega and Alvaro Bautista.
Toprak had said it several times in recent days: I want to win all three races and the authority with which he won Race 1 is impressive little hope to the other pilots. The only ones they have tried to resist him it was first Bautista and then Bulega, with the rookie overtaking his successful teammate on the eighth lap, but unable to reduce the gap separating him from Razgatlioglu. He expected more from the two Ducati officials, but they both gave the impression of not having the right pace to try to win.
Yet another fourth place for Andrea Locatelliwho led a regular race and overtook Gardner in the eleventh and then maintained the position.
Alex Lowes he doesn’t do anything wrong and brings the Kawasaki to fifth place, ahead of Gardner who had a tough race, but still manages to bring home a good sixth position. He also expected more from him Andrea Iannonewho however always remained at the rear and who in the end had to settle for seventh place, ahead of Michael Van der Mark.
Danilo Petrucci doesn’t stop amaze and despite severe pain in his shoulder he not only managed to finish the race, but also achieved an excellent ninth position, ahead of a strong-willed Iker Lecuona, the only Honda rider to stand out today, while his teammate Xavi Vierge crashed on the first lap.
Axel Bassani finishes eleventh continuing positively in his apprenticeship on the Ninja, behind him Garrett Gerloff and the Ducati duo formed by Michele Pirro and Michael Ruben Rinaldiwho takes home just two points on the track where he had achieved two great victories in the past.
It’s raining wet for Jonathan Rea, fell badly on the second lap and taken to the medical Center for investigations. In addition to the six-time world champion, Sam Lowes, Aegerter and MacKenzie also did not see the checkered flag.
